DEUTZIA. 
EULALIA. 
We can highly recommend the Deutzias for hardiness, 
good habit, the great profusion in which they produce 
their flowers, and in every respect as being among the 
most desirable hardy shrubs in cultivation. The flowers 
are in racemes from four to six inches in length. The 
first time we saw this plant in flower we thought it the 
prettiest shrub in existence ; each, 25 cents. 
Deutzia gracilis, flowers white, single, and so profuse 
as to cover the branches. 
crenata flore-pleno, flowers double, white, with 
back of petals pink. 
Double White, pure white, making it one of our 
best spring flowering shrubs. 
scabra, rough-leaved Deutzia, flowers pure white. 
We can send large plants of the above by express at 
50 cents each, purchaser to pay charges. 
DICTAMNUS. 
See engraving page 38. 
The Dictamnus FraxineDa is a choice hardy perennial, 
forming a bush about two feet in height, of a very neat 
habit, both in foliage and flower. The flowers pro¬ 
duced in racemes often a foot or more in length, a little 
odd in appearance, but very handsome and quite fragrant. 
Dictamnus Fraxinella, plants £3.00 per dozen; 
ERIANTHUS. 
Erianthus Ravenna:, j 
for general culture, is ‘ 
the best tall Ornamental 
Grass we are acquaint¬ 
ed with. It is almost | 
as beautiful as Pampas 
Grass, while its entire 
hardiness everywhere 
must make it popular 
as its merits become 
known. It is propa¬ 
gated both by seeds 
and division of the 
roots. The flower stems arc often ten feet in height, 
and the feathery head about a foot. The roots are 
robust, and we have never lost one by shipping. The 
Erianthus makes a good clump for the side or back of 
the lawn, or among shrubbery. 
Erianthus Ravennae, mailing plants, $2.00 per 
dozen; each. 25 
Eulalia Japonica Zebrina. This plant i» unlike 
most variegated plants, as its stripe, or mark¬ 
ing, is across the leaf, instead of lengthwise, 
which gives it a very peculiar but beautiful ap¬ 
pearance. It grows from four to six feet high, 
jind is very graceful in form. Being perfectly 
hardy, it is the more desirable, as plants will 
improve in size and beauty each year. For 
planting on a lawn as a single specimen plant, or 
for grouping, it is unsurpassed. In the fall it 
bears large tassel-like plumes. These may be 
used as parlor ornaments, and will last for years.

Eulalia Japonica variegata. This plant, except 
that the variegation of the leaf is lengthwise, is 
very similar in style and habit of growth to E. 
Japonica zebrina, and it forms so beautiful and 
striking a contrast to it as to make them very 
desirable companion plants; each,. 25 
FORGET-ME-NOT. 
See engraving page 21. 
The Myosotis has always been a favorite, especially 
the little Forget-Me-Not, M. palustris, though nearly all 
the varieties arc called by this name. The plants like a 
moist, cool situation, but succeed in any fair garden soil.
